I have my own opinions on how to enter the Coral Spiral Sea, this matter is confidential, naturally I don't have to say it to the "breaking force", just let him take the big gold tooth to negotiate the price with the shipowner, and issue a manifest of goods, and ask the "breaking force" to prepare on behalf of the ship, overhaul and test the hull, to ensure that it can be foolproof after going to sea.

Now that the ship has been determined, everyone will go their separate ways, Uncle Ming and others are responsible for preparing everything, and I am looking for local fishermen everywhere, to find out about going out to sea to collect eggs, and after a few days of busyness, Shirley Yang rushed to meet, but I didn't expect Professor Chen to come with her, it turned out that Professor Chen couldn't rest assured, and planned to go to sea with us in person, how could I take him on an adventure, and under all kinds of persuasion, I persuaded him to stay on Coral Temple Island, and let the big golden tooth also stay on the island, and have a care with him, and wait for us to come backand return to Beijing together.

I took Shirley to take a closer look at the modified ship, this sea willow boat has not yet been named, we finally named it "Three Forks Dry Ship", according to local Chinese customs, new ships or renovated ships must hold some ceremonies to worship the sea god before going to sea, folding incense, cutting thousands of shares, pouring old wine, and going to the coral temple to give incense to Mazu, in order to go to sea safely and smoothly, although we do not believe in this, but follow the local customs, or can not avoid this procedure, and then need to find an old sea wolf at the helm, But this candidate is too hard to find, and almost everyone refuses to go to the ghost-infested Coral Spiral without hesitation, and the place is almost impossible to mention in the eyes of the locals.

In the end, I had to be taken by Uncle Ming, an old captain who claimed to know the hyacinths, the water, and the terrain of the sea, but I know Uncle Ming's personality too well, this old gang farmer is an old outlaw, an old liar, an old gambler, full of opportunistic ideas, as long as it is to make a fortune, there is nothing in this world that he does not dare to do, his motto is: "There is a gamble not to lose, and no gambling does not know the high luck." ”

I don't think it's very reassuring for Uncle Ming to take the helm of the ship, and only the four of us go to sea, the manpower is too thin, and some situations are afraid that we can't cope with it, and when I feel embarrassed, fortunately, Shirley Yang hired a few egg people, they are all Vietnamese Chinese, among which the old elder is called Nguyen Hei, who is about fifty years old, although the beard on his face is white. But his eyes are sharp and full of spirit, and he is a calm, capable and experienced old fisherman.

The other two young men and a woman, the young man's name was "Gu Chai", he was Nguyen Hei's apprentice, almost fifteen or sixteen years old, he was dark and thin, his hands and feet were very nimble, and he was like a horse monkey. He was dark-skinned, named "Tasuzu", and was in his early twenties. is a mixed race of Yue and France, and she also calls Ruan Hei a master.

Duo Ling is an orphan adopted by Nguyen Hei when he escaped from Vietnam, Gu Chai is the aboriginal of Coral Temple Island, also an orphan, the three of them fish on the island for a living, and live in poverty, Ruan Hei and his apprentice daughter have experience in sailing, can steer fishing, and have also gone into the water to collect pearls, because Shirley Yang can pay US dollars directly, so the three of them are willing to take the risk to go to sea with us, earn a considerable income, with the travel expenses, they can go to France to join Duo Ling's lost relatives......

When I saw these three Vietnamese, I immediately objected, as soon as I heard them speak, I remembered the past of fighting on the front line, the smoke of blood and fire seemed to be just yesterday, sometimes occasionally I met my former comrades-in-arms, although talking about the previous battles, everyone looked very calm, just to talk about who was a pity, who was crippled, who was still alive, what might happen now, but they are actually the same as me, no one dares to carefully recall and describe, probably all the veterans who participated in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, It is said that most of the US troops who participated in the Vietnam War also suffered from bullet shock and other sequelae, which may be related to the stuffy and oppressive natural environment of Vietnam, as well as the cruel battles like a meat grinder, the soul that has been tortured by the war is incomplete and easily stimulated.

But Shirley Yang persuaded me that none of Ruan Hei's family were "VC", they were refugees who escaped when the US troops evacuated Saigon, not to mention that Ruan Hei was originally Chinese, his ancestral home was Yantai, Shandong, and he spoke Chinese well, so you don't need to have any psychological barriers.

I think it's true, there is no reason to refute, since Shirley Yang trusts Ruan Hei's father and daughter very much, there should be no problem with her vision, so I had to agree to let Ruan Hei and others join, and then I gathered all the members of the sea this time, repeatedly discussed the feasibility of the action plan several times, and confirmed that everything was ready, just waiting for the next morning to go to sea to move mountains.

That night I did the last sorting of the items in the cabin, the most important of which is the various items needed for the art of moving mountains and reclamation, these things are strange and varied, most of them are things for daily application when you look down and don't look up, but in the use of mountain moving, it can play an extraordinary role, although I have never practiced it before, but I believe that in the many records left by the "partridge whistle" of the mountain mover, there will be no lies, "mountain movers" For thousands of years, by moving mountains and dividing armor to steal the world's treasures, if you don't have real skills, how can you compare with the "secret art of touching gold".

I was about to go back to sleep after the inspection, but on the way I saw Professor Chen hurrying to find me, he was idle on the island, and learned that we had received a batch of blue-headed ancient jade, so he had to go over and study it repeatedly, he drew a figure of each ancient jade, and wanted to collect it as information, but this unintentional move actually came to a surprising result.

I took the figure drawn by Professor Chen, and I was very surprised at a glance, it turned out that these dozens of pieces of ancient jade with bizarre shapes were separated from a huge jade carving, and now it is like a fragmented puzzle in the picture and has been reassembled completely, although some of the parts are difficult to restore, but the outline is roughly intact, this jade carving is a fish-tailed female spirit, in the background of the sea beast temple totem, with a lamp candle on a huge tortoise shell for divination, I have studied the art for a long time, see a candle illuminating the turtle divination, of course very interested, So he carefully looked at the hexagram on the tortoise shell, and after a little identification, his heart began to beat wildly: "This monster seems to be deducing the innate gossip......
